Well he bought the whole Pzifer production in advance. It's not like they can produce to administer it before January 20, unless the speed run things with the FDA like Monsanto or a Big Pharma and it's new opioide.

COVID-specific news from https://whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/2020/11/09/day-1390/
Day 1390: "A mask is not a political statement."
! 1/ More than 10 million people have been infected with the coronavirus in the United States, which is about one-fifth of the 50 million infections worldwide. At least 105,000 new COVID-19 cases were reported on Sunday, down slightly from the daily record set a day earlier. All but one state had more cases last week than the week before. (NPR/ABC News/USA Today/CNN/Bloomberg)
! * Dept. of “We Have It Totally Under Control.”- Global: Total confirmed cases: ~50,767,000; deaths: ~1,262,000
- U.S.: Total confirmed cases: ~10,030,000; deaths: ~239,000

! 2/ Biden named 13 health experts to his Transition COVID-19 Advisory Board and declared the pandemic “one of the most important battles our administration will face.” Biden added: “I will be informed by science and by experts.” The panel will be co-chaired by the former FDA commissioner, former Surgeon General, and an associate professor of medicine and epidemiology at Yale. While Biden is unable to take control of the country’s response until after his Jan. 20 inauguration, the advisory board will work to create a plan for bringing the pandemic under control — a process Biden says will begin immediately after his inauguration – despite uncertainty over how much the Trump administration will cooperate. Biden also warned that the U.S. was facing a “dark winter” as the coronavirus continues to spread and appealed to Americans to wear mask, saying “a mask is not a political statement.” (New York Times / Washington Post / Associated Press / Axios / NPR / NBC News / Bloomberg)
3/ Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine is reportedly more than 90% effective, according to an analysis by an independent data monitoring committee. Pfizer plans to ask the FDA for emergency authorization later this month, after it has collected two months of safety data. By the end of the year it will have manufactured enough doses to immunize 15 to 20 million people. Pfizer did not join Operation Warp Speed, the Jared Kushner initiative to rush a vaccine to market by providing funding for research and manufacturing. Instead, Pfizer invested $2 billion on the project and then made a $1.95 billion deal with the U.S. government to provide 100 million doses.

If there's one positive thing to say about the pandemic,
it's the renewed interest in mathematics for some of us.USA cases: 10,191,261
Deaths: 238,776
Death Rate: 2.34%United Kingdom cases: 1,213,363
Deaths: 49,238
Death Rate: 4.06%Global cases: 50,913,451
Deaths: 1,263,089
Death Rate: 2.48%I find this fascinating.
Not only because my own country is so painfully high above the global average rate for deaths,
but also the fact that the USA (despite their fuckton of cases) is still staying under that same global average.I've always heard about how good your hospitals are (as a result of being richly privatized), and this is really proving it to me.
In that regard at the very least, you guys are fortunate. (I realize the irony of that word for the people who struggled with medical debt after recovery)If we applied the UK's death rate to the USA, you'd be on 413,559 deaths instead of 238,776. Almost double.
Thinking about stuff like this blows my mind a little. -
Doing death rate on the total amount of cases? I disagree. Death rete should be measured on the closed cases. In that regard US has a death rate of 4%, Brazil 3%, India 2%, Mexico 12% (wow), and UK can't be quantified because they didn't release closed cases info. To no one surprise, the 5 leaders in death's are governed by the right.
The world average is 3%.

The death rate is almost definitely above the global average. -
Most of our hospitals are really good (at least here in Massachusetts), the problem is you break the bank to use any of them if you don't have insurance. Which many people don't have. So you could survive COVID, but you'd ruin your finances for years.
I had a small surgery last year at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, in and out within a day, and if I didn't have state insurance it would have cost me $6000.

Is this what, the second good news of the year?
https://www.bbc.com/news/health-54873105Wooooo!!!
I wonder if I can get mine earlier since I am at high risk due to some issues. Here's hoping, I just don't want to get it, but at the same time have somewhat of a normal life again.
The data shows that two doses, three weeks apart, are needed.
Interesting, looks like you need two shots, I always felt like it would be one shot like other vaccines. (I guess maybe ones as a kid I had more than one between a few weeks.]The biggest question - how long does immunity last - will take months or potentially years to answer.
Yeah, this is good to know. I wonder if it be like how the flu vaccine is now where you need to take it every year not to get it, or will it be a one time deal. I hope it be more like a one time deal like with polio.
Also, I like the graphic that they showed how the vaccine worked. Honestly, I wouldn't mind learning more about this stuff as it seems really interesting to say the least.

This video is not really about Covid, but it relates to it while explaining the history of why things are the way there are currently in this country. Man, Biden has a lot of work on his days to fix this, I'm not even sure how to have it done besides teaching everyone to treat everyone the same as everyone else, which is something I do already, I treat everyone equally no matter what status, race, etc. But seems not everyone is like me in that regard. I think also the faulty "race science" we had in the past that is finally debunked still lingers and probably why black people still get treated different from their white counterparts when it comes to the healthcare system. Anyways, here's the video, it is very informative and explains things a bit clearer, though I need to do more research to understand more of the situation:

The United States surpassed 11 million reported cases Sunday – one week after hitting the 10 million mark – and the number of COVID-19 deaths now stands at more than 246,000. The seven-day average of new daily cases is more than 140,000, with 49 states trending upward. Meanwhile, governors and mayors are implementing new restrictions to slow the spread with Chicago issuing a new stay-at-home advisory, Philadelphia announcing strict new rules, New Mexico going into a two-week lockdown, North Dakota imposing a new mask mandate, New Jersey limiting gatherings, and California putting more than 94% of its population in its most restrictive reopening tier.

Instead, Trump has repeatedly and falsely claimed the election was rigged against him. (Washington Post)
Trump’s coronavirus adviser called for Michiganders to “rise up” against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s new COVID-19 restrictions. After Whitmer announced Sunday a three-week pause on indoor dining, Dr. Scott Atlas tweeted: “The only way this stops is if people rise up. You get what you accept.” Whitmer denounced Atlas’ call to action, saying it is “incredibly reckless.” Dr. Anthony Fauci added that he “totally disagrees” with Atlas.

Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine candidates is 94.5% effective, according to the early findings from a 30,000-subject trial that is still under way. The news comes a week after a similar shot developed by Pfizer and BioNTech said their candidate was more than 90% effective in an interim analysis. The two companies could have enough vaccine for about 25 to 30 million people in the U.S. in December, with the first doses going to the highest risk groups. Moderna’s vaccine was co-developed with Dr. Anthony Fauci’s institute.

Biden called the vaccine news “really encouraging” but warned “more people may die” if the Trump administration doesn’t cooperate and start the transition process. “We are going into a very dark winter,” Biden said. “If we have to wait until January 20th to start that planning, it puts us behind, over a month and a half,” Biden continued. Dr. Anthony Fauci, meanwhile, said it is “obvious” that the Trump administration’s refusal to begin the presidential transition is not good from a public health perspective and could stall the rollout of potential vaccines. “Of course it would be better if we could start working with” Biden’s team, adding that the “virus is not going to stop and call a time out while things change. The virus is just going to keep going. The process is just going to keep going.” (The Guardian / NPR / Politico / NBC News / Politico / Associated Press / CNN) -

From today's What the Fuck Just Happened Today:
The leaders of three major medical associations urged Trump to share “all critical information related to COVID-19” with the incoming Biden administration “as soon as possible” in order to “save countless lives.” The CEOs of the American Hospital Association, the American Medical Association, and the American Nurses Association urged the Trump administration to share “real-time data and information on the supply of therapeutics, testing supplies, personal protective equipment, ventilators, hospital bed capacity […] the capacity of the Strategic National Stockpile, the assets from Operation Warp Speed, and plans for dissemination of therapeutics and vaccines […] so that there is no lapse in our ability to care for patients.” Biden, meanwhile, noted that getting a coronavirus vaccine to more than 300 million Americans is a “huge, huge, huge undertaking” that would be further complicated by a continued delay in the presidential transition. Over the past 14 days, coronavirus cases have increased in all 50 states plus Washington, D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. There has also been a 100% or more increase in confirmed cases over 14 days in Vermont, Maine, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Iowa, Ohio, Colorado, Michigan, Nebraska, Kansas, Pennsylvania, and New York. The seven-day average of new deaths in the U.S., meanwhile, eclipsed the Aug. 2 peak of 1,150. And, more than 73,000 people are currently hospitalized with COVID-19 as of Monday – a new record. Dr. Anthony Fauci, meanwhile, called for the nation to adopt “a uniform approach” to the coronavirus pandemic, rather than the current “disjointed” state-by-state response.

More than 3 million people in the United States – about 1% of the population – have active coronavirus infections and are potentially contagious, according to a team of infectious-disease experts tracking the pandemic. The estimate does not include an approximately equal number of latent infections – the people who were infected in recent days but can’t pass it on yet because it is still incubating. On Monday, at least 1,707 new COVID-19 deaths were reported – about one American every minute – and by Wednesday, the U.S. had recorded it’s 250,000 death with a record 76,000 people hospitalized with the coronavirus. The White House coronavirus task force, meanwhile, stated in it’s weekly report that there is “now aggressive, unrelenting, expanding broad community spread across the country, reaching most counties, without evidence of improvement but rather, further deterioration.” (Washington Post / CNN / The Guardian / NBC News / CNBC / Wall Street Journal)Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine is reportedly 95% effective with no serious side effects. The company said it planned to apply for emergency approval from the Food and Drug Administration “within days.” Pfizer said it could have up to 50 million doses available by the end of the year, but only about half of the supply will go to the United States this year – or enough for about 12.5 million people. Moderna said this week that an early analysis of its vaccine showed it was nearly 95% effective. (New York Times / Washington Post)

As for me, these are all shortcomings of democracy and a good standard of living. Take a look at China. Even 20 years ago, they produced only fakes of branded things and lived in poverty, and now this country is developing at an amazing pace. We may laugh at communism, but this model of governance in China avoided the monstrous rate of COVID spreading across the country. Compare with our statistics. We draw conclusions. Whichever we choose, nothing will change dramatically, since our people simply will not accept a tough and authoritarian president who, if necessary, will be able to limit our freedoms for the common good in the near future.
